Ave (morenowagain) Description shows 220 pages but it is 519 pages

And since the page number was added by the author, it is likely to be correct.

Ave (morenowagain) Oh ok... The PDF version I have is 519 pages as is my friends kindle version. My suggestion wasn't 'incorrect' just because the author added it to the description. I had reached out to GR and they told me to post here. Guess not.

The only formats for which book-in-hand does not trump publisher/Amazon/etc. data are ebooks. User settings, precise model of ereader, and other variables can mean that the same book on your ereader and mine have different page counts. Therefore, for ebooks (including Kindle editions), the page number should come from the publisher (or author).
